VIII. Calibration
Calibrationandadjustmentareperformedatthefactory.
However,theweighingrangecanshiftslightlyduring
shipping.Also,duetochangesinlocalaccelerationofgravity
aroundtheworld,adjustmentisrecommendedwhenmoving
thescalefromonelocationtoanother.Tocheckcalibration:
1. Placetherequiredcalibrationweightonthescale
andnotethedisplayedvalue.
2. Ifthedisplayedvalueisnotwithinacceptable
tolerance(seechartonnextpage),adjustmentis
